Cheesesteak

Food is fresh and cheesesteak was good. Friendly staff, worth checking out if you like the dive feel and supporting local.

Classic menu, if you can read it

Several reviews mention the lack of cleanliness. Now I'm not saying there hasn't been a dip in cleanliness standards since the captain helmed this ship, but they've been cooking greasy stuff here for decades and its never seen a remodel, so yes, the walls are a bit yellow, and yes, there are dirty random rubber containers, so if you want john j Jeffries and be able to eat off the floor, drive 3 minutes north. The clientele hasn't aged or changed a bit. The dudes next to us were hoping rancid and drop kick open up for guns n roses. The food is average dive stuff. The cheese steak is not real flavorful and the buns get soggy but hey, this is still one of the best steaks in lancaster. And if you've been around for 48 years, you must be doing something right.

I had a great time and great food at Gus's (my first time there). First - I rode my bike there and arrived early. Nick, without hesitation, let me bring my (fairly expensive) bike inside the store for safekeeping which was much appreciated. Second - I got there around 9 am before the grill opened, but that didn't stop him from firing it early and getting me a deliciously prepared cheese steak with sauce, onions and mushrooms. I gobbled that down like no tomorrow. Nick is very customer oriented....we talked about values and how everyone should treat others as we would want to be treated. He (and Joey - the real Commander-in-Chief lol) are great guys - coupled with great food - no wonder they have been in business so long. I can't wait to bring my friends and go back for another sandwich!

1st time here and it's their 50th anniversary, The food tastes great. Definitely a warm family place to eat. To 50 MORE years!

My favorite place to get a cheese steak since I was little. The people are always friendly and the food is always hot & fresh.

This place is overrated... Nothing special about the cheesesteak at all. The cheese wasn't even melted a little. Barely any steak on it.
